| that believe the facts TO be about as stated
| in the reported interview. /
| do not believe the President
| wants 10 be reelected. He has publicly
stated that he does not believe in second
| terms. and have no idea he has been actu-
a;ed by any ambition 10 succeed himself.
| but think his great ambition Is 70 so ad-
minister the government that any honest
| Democrat can be his successor. 1 have no
| doubt that Mr.. Cleveland would be gratiiled
| by the endorsement Of his party and the
| country. He would be more or less thIn
| human if this were not so, bat d0n'tthink
| he wsnts the office again for any personal
| ambition. He knows too much about IT, What
| he would do.if the Democratic party should
say To him that he was the only man who
| could lead the way TO victory, nobody
| knows but himself, and be is not the sort of
individual who jumps ditch before he
| reaches il. Understand me, this is only my
| opinion. | am not authorized TO speak for
| the President and have no such relations
with him as to justify any statement from
me as to his feelings OF intentions. ] am
| only speaking for myself"
| TX Congressman Anderson, of Ohio. in
talking about the matter to Star reporter
this afternoon, said: Il do not

that he will not accept a denomination. IL
he does not want to be reelected then am
